Green Island Resort has a beautiful setting and offers a good variety of activities. However, the experience is overshadowed by the overwhelming number of day-trippers, resulting in a messy and overcrowded environment. While the staff is friendly and the accommodations are decent, the cleanliness and dining experience leave much to be desired.

I had a decent experience at the resort with a mix of positives and negatives. On the one hand, the tranquil environment and friendly staff stood out, making for a pleasant stay. Yet, the aging rooms and the high price point were disappointing. It's a beautiful setting but it feels overpriced for what is currently offered, especially given the ongoing renovations.

The rooms are spacious and clean, but they are in need of renovation. The beds were too soft and sagging in the middle, which made it hard to get a good night's sleep.

The resort is situated just off the coast of Cairns, but be prepared for the island to be crowded with day-trippers during the day. After 4:30 pm, it becomes much calmer and quieter.

The facilities are decent. While snorkeling gear and stinger suits are provided for free, I hoped for more activities to be included in the price.

I had a great experience at Green Island Resort, especially with our Reef Suite which was excellent and very comfortable. The island itself is enchanting with plenty of activities, but the dining options and service could use some improvement. It's a wonderful spot for a quick getaway, but be prepared for a bustling atmosphere with many day tourists.

Staying on Green Island was a beautiful getaway surrounded by stunning nature and friendly staff. The private pool for resort guests was a huge plus, and I enjoyed peaceful moments after the day visitors left. However, the rooms are in need of renovation, and the dining prices felt quite high considering the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, I appreciated the unique location and the feeling of being a VIP during my stay.

My experience at the resort was a mix of highs and lows. On the plus side, the staff were incredibly nice, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. The location is beautiful with plenty of opportunities for snorkeling right from the beach. Unfortunately, the dining experience didn't meet expectations, and the facilities seemed a bit worn out. Overall, it's a great spot for natural beauty but could use improvement in some areas.
